"Yeah, can't wait," Martin-Page said, while his stretcher was wheeled from the hospital.

"Ready to start rehab, honestly ... to see some friends ... Perth has been great but I think it's time for me to go."

Brendon Vagg, Director of Medical Operations from LifeFlight Medical Air Ambulance, said the process of transferring Martin-Page between hospitals was delicate and lengthy.

"It's not something you can do quickly," Mr Vagg said.

Eight rows of chairs have been flattened inside the commercial plane to make way for Martin-Page's stretcher.

"We don't want to exacerbate any of his injuries and also keep it as comfortable as possible ... to really keep his anxiety levels down."

Martin-Page will spend at least a week in Royal Adelaide Hospital before being moved to a specialist rehab facility.

The 22-year-old said while he knows he has a long and difficult road ahead of him, he is hoping he will walk again.
